Hi Jeanette. I'm sorry that I took so long in answering your question, but I'm afraid that I have been working away for a week or so. I hope that your eggs have been well in the meantime. Grasshoppers belong to an insect order called 'Orthoptera' along with the crickets, locusts, and ground hoppers.
